A/N: So, here comes the talk! Although I feel like it's not as big as it should be...

"Hey," Snow whispered as she walked into Emma's hospital room. Emma was sound asleep on the bed and Regina was sat in the chair watching her. "Has she been asleep long?"

"She fell asleep about half an hour ago." Regina pushed herself up from the chair. She didn't want Emma to be alone so she had sat in the chair while she slept. Snow tiptoed over to the bed and tucked a strand of hair behind her daughter's ear. Just then the door opened and a nurse pushed a cot in with a sleeping baby inside.

"Here's baby Swan." The nurse smiled as she pushed the cot to the side of Emma's bed. "Would you like to hold your granddaughter?" The nurse looked up at Snow as she gently lifted the baby from the cot.

Snow smiled softly at the thought of holding her granddaughter for the first time but declined. "I think Regina would like to hold her daughter first."

Regina was shocked to hear Snow call the baby girl her daughter. Even though Emma had often referred to the baby as their baby, it felt more real to hear Snow use the same term. The brunette felt her heart begin to beat faster as the nurse gently placed the sleeping baby in her arms. Her lips curled into a wide smile as she felt her body fill with so much love already for the tiny baby. She knew right then that she would do anything for the little girl, anything.

"Hey, baby," Reina whispered happily as she slowly began to sway from side to side.

Snow clasped her hands together as she watched her former step-mother sway gently with the baby. She had never thought that she would ever see this side of Regina again. At one time Snow had come to believe that Regina would forever be the Evil Queen. As it turned out all Regina needed to become herself again was a certain sleeping blonde.

"You look so happy, Regina."

The mayor glanced up slightly from the sleeping baby in her arms and smiled at the younger woman. "I am, Snow. I really am."

"I've never seen you this happy, not even when you were with Daniel." Snow stepped closer and placed a hand on the brunette's arm. "Don't let them go, Regina."

The brunette turned her head to look at Snow with a smile. It was now or never. "I need a favour."

"Anything." Snow grinned.

Emma slowly began to open her eyes and blinked a few times to adjust to the light in the room. She stretched out her legs and rolled over to her side. The blonde smiled as she caught sight of Regina sat in the chair cradling their daughter to her chest.

"Hey," Emma whispered, not wanting to interrupt too much.

"Hey." Regina grinned and stood up from the chair. Emma shifted in the bed so she was sat up as Regina sat down on the edge. "She's asleep still." She leaned closer to the blonde so she could pass the baby over. Emma settled back against the pillows as she cuddled her daughter close. This is what she had missed with Henry and she had decided that she was not going to miss anything with her daughter.

"Emma, I've been thinking," Regina started softly as she gazed down at the baby.

Emma's head snapped up to look at her friend and she felt her heart break. This was it. Regina had changed her mind. She was going to tell Emma that she didn't want to help raise the baby together. Regina was going to leave her. The blonde could feel the tears stinging the back of her eyes but she blinked to keep them from falling.

"I don't want her growing up moving from one house to another like Henry does. I don't like that Henry does." She let out a soft sigh as she looked into the blonde's eyes. "It breaks my heart when Henry's not at home with me and my heart will break even more when this little one isn't with me as well. They don't need two houses. They just need one. They have two parents who love them and care for each other. Your parents and Henry are moving all of your things into my house right now. You're all coming home with me. I want us to be a family, Emma. I…I…I love you."

Emma's mouth dropped open slightly in shock at the words. It wasn't what she had expected but she realised that it was just what she wanted. She wanted to be a family with Regina. She wanted to fall asleep next to her each night and wake up next to her every morning. With her free hand Emma gently cupped Regina's face and then kissed her. Regina placed a hand on the blonde's hips and leaned closer into the kiss. They slowly pulled away from the kiss and rested their foreheads against each other as they smiled happily.

"So, what are you going to call her?" Snow asked later that afternoon. She was sat in the chair in the room while Regain was sat on the bed with her arm around Emma's shoulders and Henry was sat on the end of the bed. The baby was nestled in Emma's arm and had a tight grip on one of Regina's fingers.

"We haven't decided yet." Regina gave a small sigh. She knew instantly that she wanted to give Henry his name, but she had no idea what to call this little girl.

Emma looked down at her daughter's delicate features. She could see that the little girl had Killian's nose but her mother's eyes. "How about Poppy?" she suggested.

"We are not naming our daughter after a flower," Regina instantly argued and saw the look on Snow's face. "No offence." Snow gave a shrug and smiled. "How about Kiera?"

Emma wrinkled her nose and looked up at her friend. "She'll sound like she's from the Lion King. No."

"That's Kiara, mum," Henry piped up.

"Oh." Emma looked at him before back down at the baby. Trying to find a name as much harder than she expected.

"How about Hallie?" Henry suggested and both his mothers turned to look at him.

"Hallie Swan," Regina tested it out and looked down at the baby.

"Hallie Swan-Mills," Emma corrected and turned to look at the mayor. "Hallie and Henry, I like it."

"Me too." Regina smiled happily and rested her head against Emma's as they watched their daughter sleep.
